1. Postcard from Serbin - "Noodles in a New Nation"
Manage episode 360581582 series 2908029
The Central Texas hamlet of Serbin sits off a country road, about an hour past Austin. It was last included in the census over twenty years ago when its population numbered a mere thirty-seven. Yet, it remains a place of significance as the sign on the edge of town announces it as the home of the Texas Wends. In this episode, which is the first in a miniseries co-produced with the Southern Foodways Alliance's "Gravy" podcast, host Evan Stern pays a visit to Serbin's annual Wendish Fest. There, he meets with descendants of this Slavic, ethnic minority who are working hard to share and preserve their history and traditions through the seemingly simple practice of noodle making.
